I recently got new bookshelves for my room, and Im just loving them. Spent the afternoon putting up my books and sharing it on my blog . One of my friends asked a question and I thought it would be a great BTT question. So from Tina & myself, wed like to know How do you arrange your books on your shelves? Is it by author, by genre, or you just put it where it falls on?
First I separate all my (and borrowed) books onto already-read shelf and to-be-read ...piles. The books-in-the-pile can find their favourite spot and do anything as they please. For the shelf, I put them firstly by genre. Then by size... yes by size! I mean the height, not the thickness. Then maybe by the author, but mostly I let my sixth sense leads the way.
Mostly by genre. From time to time, when I feel energetic enough, I will re-arrange each genre again by the author. There's also a shelf devoted to 'all time favorite' books regardless of any rule except my fondness towards them.
My to-be-read books also lying around anywhere and everywhere, but the best ones are often instantly consumed.
